Walkthrough

Updates a CI command guide: renames a workflow step label, replaces separate YAML modification methods with a single "YAML Modification Algorithm" (applies to job and workflow targets), removes explicit Python implementation blocks, and updates examples and prompts to show YAML-focused transformations.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Documentation (single doc)
plugins/ci/commands/add-debug-wait.md
Rebranded Step 5b label to "Modify Workflow File"; consolidated separate "YAML Modification Methods" into a unified "YAML Modification Algorithm" covering both job and workflow targets; replaced Python implementation fragments with algorithmic descriptions; updated example prompts, before/after YAML transformations, and timeout scenarios; adjusted related headings, notes, and output text to reflect the unified YAML-centric flow.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10 minutes

  • Check consistency of renamed step labels across the document.
  • Verify the YAML Modification Algorithm examples (both timeout/no-timeout) accurately reflect described insertion/deduplication rules and indentation.
  • Confirm removal of Python blocks didn't omit necessary implementation detail or break example clarity.

395-442: Excellent consolidation of YAML modification logic.

The refactored "YAML Modification Algorithm" is well-structured, preserves all critical constraints (indentation, insertion order, timeout handling with best_effort), and provides clear before/after examples. This effectively replaces the verbose Python implementation while maintaining technical accuracy and usability.


283-283: Label and reference updates are accurate.

The rebrand to "Modify Workflow File" (line 283) better reflects the action, and the cross-references to Step 6's algorithm (lines 292, 329) are correctly placed and consistent.

Also applies to: 292-292, 329-329

395-442: Excellent consolidation of YAML modification logic.

The new unified "YAML Modification Algorithm" (Step 6) effectively replaces the scattered Python implementation details with a clear, language-agnostic algorithm. The before/after examples are concrete and show both timeout scenarios. However, verify one detail:

Line 407 states "Insert before the last test step," but the examples show insertion as the first step in the test section (lines 417-426, 422-435). Clarify whether this should consistently be "before the last step" or clarify the intent—i.e., is the algorithm meant to insert immediately after test: line for simplicity, or truly before the final test step in multi-step test chains?

545-590: Past issue resolved: Code blocks now have language identifiers.

The previous review flagged missing language identifiers on lines 547, 564, and 583. These are now properly marked as \``bash`, addressing the markdownlint-cli2 (MD040) violation. The examples are clear and directly reflect the consolidated algorithm—showing command invocation, expected prompts, and before/after YAML transformations.


285-359: Step 5a and 5b labels align with consolidation goal.

Both sections now reference "Modify [Job Config | Workflow] File" (lines 285, 322) and delegate to the unified YAML Modification Algorithm in Step 6 (via cross-references on lines 292, 329). This eliminates duplication and clarifies the common pattern. The two scenarios (without/with timeout) are clearly distinguished in each step.

I do wonder if instead it would not be better to embed the python script and tell the claude command or skill to use it, to save on both time and token generation

Thanks for your review! I chose the algorithm approach because:

  1. Different teams may have slightly different YAML formats - Claude can adapt to these variations using the Edit tool, but a Python script would be brittle
  2. The modification is straightforward (inserting 1-3 lines), well within Claude's capabilities
  3. Simpler to maintain
